New Bowls

Well, here they are. They did not turn out perfect (darn glazes), but I think they are still cute and I like them a lot. Because they are imperfect I won't put them on the Etsy site, but if any of you want one, you can make me an offer or a trade plus shipping and I would be happy to consider it. If nothing else I will give them as gifts or use them myself :-). I have had a fun couple days. I went out to visit my sculpture friend J and I got my hair cut. Now it is time to get some more art done. Let's see, more ceramics or work on the paintings? Not sure which is calling me, or perhaps both are. I hope you are having a good week. XOXO

I love these bowls Annie! Who cares if they aren't perfect! What of value in life really is! I would be honored to do a trade with you but I don't do art. I do have color cards or a book on color or color sprays. Take a look at my website and see if we can work something out. www.lifepotentials.net It is being redone but you can still see the old one.

Hia Annie, your whimsical crown is very beautiful. I think sometimes it does us good to "out with the old and in with the new". To have physical space helps us get mental space for new ideas.

I would be honoured to own a piece of your artwork. I do like the black and white one with the bead looking work around the base. Is there anything I could make for you? I don't have a shop, but am open to ideas for you.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Melanie and Life Potentials-Thank you for your offers. I will get back to you. A friend in Taos wants to buy the xoxo bowl and money trumps trade right now, but I will think about what to do and let you know.

Hi Annie, these are lovely bowls. I have always loved the idea of working with clay and creating things like this, however I have resolved my self to painting (the wheel and I just do not see eye to eye! LOL My daughter is the potter in the family, really.

These pieces are truly clever and fun!

Also thank you so much for your lovely thoughts on my blog. We bloggers love our comments, don't we?

About Me

I am a painter living in the beautiful moutain town of Taos New Mexico.
Artist Statement:
I have been painting since I was eight years old when I declared to my mother that I wanted to be an artist. She promptly went out and bought me an oil set. Perhaps not the wisest choice for a child, but it got me started. I have been painting ever since and my way of working and what I paint has changed dramatically over the years. At this point in time I am working with mixed media on board and canvas. Nearly every image starts with a dream, either waking or sleeping. Other subjects that inform my work are literature and nature. Each painting is for me an adventure in color and texture,an exploration of joy and a way for me to get to know myself better. There is always a personal narrative and some hidden message that I am unaware of until it reveals itself in the finished piece. My paintings are about whatever is going on in my life at the time I am painting. My intention when I do a painting is to be true to my authentic voice and perhaps to open someone's heart and mind to all the possibilities around them.
